Florence in a Day: Guided Tour with David, Cathedral & City Highlights

Afternoon tours include guided entry to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to admire its stunning frescoes and the remarkable details beneath Brunelleschi’s dome. Morning tours include an exterior visit, followed by independent entry after the tour with your pre-reserved tickets.

Depending on availability and timing, you will visit either the Duomo Museum, where original sculptures and reliefs reveal how the cathedral complex once looked—and how masters like Michelangelo and Donatello left their mark on the city, or the Florence Baptistery, where you will be able to gaze up at its glowing golden mosaics and discover why the famous bronze doors earned the name “Gates of Paradise.”

Then, continue your walk to Piazza della Signoria, an open-air museum filled with Renaissance sculptures and dominated by the historic Palazzo Vecchio.

Pass the Uffizi Gallery from the outside and hear stories about the Medici family and the artists they supported.

End your tour at the Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest bridge, lined with traditional goldsmith shops.
